WH10: Employment
Proposals for the development of new B1 business uses and flexible start-up accommodation in the countryside, for example as part of farm diversification, will be supported provided they adhere to other policies of the development plan, and:
- Do not lead to the loss of existing community facilities;
- Do not adversely impact on neighbouring residential properties;
- Do not adversely affect transport and other infrastructure; and
- Provide the necessary infrastructure to enable a connection to superfast broadband.
Development proposals that enhance the operational effectiveness and appearance of existing employment sites and facilities, or to redevelop those sites to provide modern commercial units and associated facilities, will be supported.
Proposals that will result in the loss of employment floor-space will be resisted, unless it can be demonstrated that either there will be an increase in jobs as a result of the proposals enabling a higher employment density to be achieved, or the use is no longer viable.
